Dyke Rehabilitation
Sector: Water Supply and Storage • Location: Ontario, Canada
Source: Infrastructure Canada
The project involves raising and reconstructing the southern dyke of the Hillman Marshland for a 1 in 100 year peak water level to avoid flooding of southern Leamington and the Caldwell First Nations. Armour stone will be added to the northern face of the marshlands to lessen the impact of tidal forces, clay will be added to the dyke to strengthen its integrity, and muskrat holes will be filled.
